The pain in my skull had stopped, but the memories were somehow more agonising. What I saw, proved that I was a Werewolf and also that I was an orphan. Neither my father, nor my mother had any siblings and so my only family remaining was West. Nice brother, he was. Kidnapping his sister and locking her up.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkCdIzl6SH
But then more agony came. It wasn't in my head, though. My knees began to burn and forearms stung. I froze, more shocked then affected by the pain. A large crack echoed throughout the room and pain exploded in my joints, weakening my stance. I sunk down to my knees, screaming in agony. My heart raced and my blood burnt like fire in my veins.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7pBUsD0fC
"LUNA!" I yelled. "LUNA, SAVE ME!" The door swung open and several people bombarded in at once. One grabbed my hand and checked my pulse.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDL9QpCUW5
"It's happening," he stated. I glanced down at my wrist and found a dark-skinned hand gripping it tightly. Some far away part of me recognised him. He was his friend, Martyn.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKSObu4M0F
"Where's Liam?" I winced. I didn't know why, but I needed him to be with me. "I need... my Liam."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERze8okoBY
"What's happening?" another voice, vaguely familiar, asked. Bryan Mitchell, the back of my mind told me.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaOyAFYu27
"She's shifting," Martyn answered, releasing my arm from his grip.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhDn4qP5Mv
"But, how?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6rYXVIIpi
"Liam," I groaned, my spine cracking. "Where's my Liam?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT7O9AuCPU
"That's how," he muttered. "Will must've strengthened her bond or something."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS5Oc8LzTs
"Alpha is going to kill him when he finds out."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdCKGa5q5E
"Who am I going to kill?" a new voice demanded. I didn't even need to try to recognise who it belonged to. West Grayson. "What did you morons do to her?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCme37D7bWM
"She's shifting," Martyn explained. "Her bones have just started to-"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3oZ7ZQGiQ
"How did this happen?" His voice was increasing in pitch, as he gradually lost his temper with them.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58yCQ8zuzn
"It wasn't us!" Bryan exclaimed, a little too quickly.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWCBhls8dt
"THEN WHO WAS IT?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEWp1ll7bZ
"Me." 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWiT6FWXDF
The voice was calm and composed, contrasting West's outraged tone. He only said one word, but it was enough for the pain to evaporate, many times faster than it had arrived and I felt my heart return to its normal pace.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYQtZ28vzc
"Liam," I breathed.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoibuKjahe
He ignored West entirely and kneeled beside me, slipping his hand into mine. My eyes locked with his and I could almost talk to him without words. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxwamAcVi4
"You'll be alright, Lyn."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4LDX89R5A
The pain practically vanished, as I began to lose myself in the endless storm in his eyes.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOET4zGJoWp
"Do you know what's happening?" he whispered.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw63DW9sCl
"I'm shifting?" My reply came out as a question rather than a statement. It was what Martyn had said repeatedly, but I wasn't sure of what it meant.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvctKo0ijXz
"Yes, Lyn. You're shifting... Shifting into a wolf, for the first time. Usually for a Gray Wolf, it first happens around 12 or so but since your wolf has been suppressed... It's resurfacing soon after the bond was recreated."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8c9O7HEqs
"But it's not full moon..."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LGQxehDmS
"Full moon has nothing to do with it," Martyn explained. "At least not for Gray Wolves. However, Brown Wolves are a different story. They-"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw7SHTWMbs
A sharp crack of pain attacked my joints and I screamed.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EEIyRInYo
"It's only the first time that hurts," Liam assured me. "If you pass this... There's nothing better than being a Gray Wolf. You get insane speed, enhanced hearing, a strong sense of smell and tracking qualities along with it."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEndOtIo42
I opened my mouth to reply but found that I couldn't speak. A quiet whine fell from my lips and I felt a tear slide down my cheek.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tXyMLEck4
"You've already started changing internally," he told me. "You won't be able to talk until you shift back." He ran his other hand through my hair and smiled sadly. "Look at me," he murmured. "You're going to get through this, Lyn... No matter what."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3msyRlI6wG
I focused on him; only him.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsV2yW2cC6
Soon enough, the rest of the world seemed to fade away and all I could feel was his presence. Every cell and vein in my body ached for him... For his presence to be forever.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pGPLiyADx
"I love you, Weslyn."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2UkQWpsh0
"I love you, too, Liam."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnVbtI2EGC
My voice was no longer a sound but rather, an echo in my head. I didn't even need to see my silvery-gray fur to realise that I had already shifted.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mT7ka6T60
I had shifted into a Gray Wolf.
